- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Just a sprinkle of this adds that deliciously nutty flavor that rounds everything out.

Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This will make sure your wonton cups get all crispy and delicious.
In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined. The creamy goodness of the cheeses mixed with the vibrant greens smells amazing!
Lightly grease a muffin tin (12-cup works great!) and then place a wonton wrapper in each cup, gently pressing them into the bottom and sides. It should look like little cups.
Fill each wonton cup with the spinach and artichoke mixture. Go ahead, don’t be shy, pile it high!
Brush the edges of the wonton wrappers lightly with olive oil. This helps them turn golden brown and gives a beautiful finish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy. Your kitchen will smell heavenly at this point!
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Honestly, these are best eaten warm!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Recipe
These Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups are best served warm, right out of the oven! They make excellent appetizers, but I’ve also enjoyed them as a light lunch alongside a fresh salad.
Storage
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is a rare occurrence in my home), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions
Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain that crispy exterior. Or, pop them in the microwave, but be aware they won’t have that lovely crunch afterward!
Freezer Friendly
These wonton cups are actually not freezer-friendly, as the wonton wrappers can become soggy when thawed and reheated.
